We were told all three were female! I’m thinking more so male? Any input would help! 🦃

The turkey is about four months old. I purchased them from Tractor Supply. Breasted bronze. Looking to find out the gender.

There is no such thing as a Breasted Bronze turkey. Your turkey appears to be a Broad Breasted Bronze.

No one that works at TSC is capable of sexing day old poults.

For photo IDs, post 3 pictures:

1 - Full front view
2 - Full side view
3 - One taken from above and behind clearly showing the back of the neck and top of the head.

The snood is the size and shape of a hen's snood. It clearly has the "mohawk" feathers on the top of the head. Hens have a "mohawk" while toms will be completely bald with a few hairs and no feathers on their head.

The second image appears to show breast feathers with a light colored lower edge which is another sign of being a hen. Toms will have dark colored or black lower edges on their mature breast feathers.
